Papers, Workshops and Tutorials*
The 19th ACM Conference on Economics and Computation
June 18-22, 2018
Cornell, Ithaca, NY, USA
http://www.sigecom.org/ec18/
*Conference overview*
Since 1999 the ACM Special Interest Group on Electronic Commerce (SIGecom)
has sponsored the leading scientific conference on advances in theory,
systems, and applications at the interface of economics and computation,
including applications to electronic commerce.
The Nineteenth ACM Conference on Economics and Computation (EC'18) will
feature invited speakers, paper presentations, workshops, tutorials, and
poster sessions.
The conference will be held from *Monday, June 18, 2018* through *Friday,
June 22, 2018* at Cornell in Ithaca, NY, USA. Accepted technical papers
will be presented from June 19 through June 21; tutorials and workshops
will be held on June 18 and June 22. Accepted papers will be available in
the form in which they are published in the ACM Digital Library prior to
the conference.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the
proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be
up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official
publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to
published work.
The focus of the conference is research at the interface of economics and
computation related to (but not limited to) the following three
non-exclusive focus areas:
*Theory and FoundationsArtificial Intelligence and Applied Game
TheoryExperimental, Empirical, and Applications*
Authors can designate a paper for one or two of these focus areas. The
program committee includes Senior Program Committee (SPC) and Program
Committee (PC) members that are experts in all three focus areas, to ensure
appropriate review of papers.
EC publishes relevant papers on topics and methodologies that include:
MECHANISM DESIGN, including: algorithmic mechanism design, auctions,
revenue maximization, pricing, resource allocation, matching, computational
social choice
ECONOMIC AND STRATEGIC EQUILIBRIUM, including: equilibrium computation,
price of anarchy, markets
INFORMATION ELICITATION AND GENERATION, including: incentive compatibility,
prediction markets, recommender, reputation and trust systems, privacy
BEHAVIORAL MODELS, including: preference and decision theory, experiments,
consumer search, econometrics
ONLINE BEHAVIOR AND SYSTEMS, including: machine learning, automated agents,
trading agents, data mining, experience with e-commerce and systems,
economics of the Cloud, social networks, crowdsourcing
*PAPER SUBMISSION*
Submissions should be made at http://www.sigecom.org/ec18/papers.html
The conference is soliciting full papers (as well as workshop and tutorial
proposals; see below) on all aspects of research mentioned above. Submitted
papers should clearly establish the research contribution, its relevance,
and its relation to prior research. All submissions must be made in the
appropriate format, and within a specified length limit; details and a
LaTeX template can be found at the submission site. Additional pages beyond
the length limit may be included as appendices, but will only be read at
the discretion of the reviewers.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To accommodate the publishing traditions of different
fields, authors of accepted papers can ask that only a one-page abstract of
the paper appear in the proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full
paper. Authors should guarantee the link to be reliable for at least two
years. This option is available to accommodate subsequent publication in
journals that would not consider results that have been published in
preliminary form in a conference proceedings. Such papers must be submitted
electronically and formatted just like papers submitted for full-text
publication.
Simultaneous submission of results to another conference with published
proceedings is not allowed. Results previously published or presented at
another primarily archival conference prior to EC, or published (or
accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline to
EC, cannot be submitted. Simultaneous submission of results to a journal is
allowed only if the author intends to publish the paper as a one-page
abstract in EC'18. Papers that are accepted and appear as a one-page
abstract can be subsequently submitted for publication in a journal but may
not be submitted to any other conference that has a published proceedings.
A separate call for posters will be announced later.
*WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS*
The conference is soliciting proposals for tutorials and workshops.
Tutorial proposals should contain the title of the tutorial, a two-page
description of the topic matter, the names and short biographies of the
tutor(s), and dates/venues where earlier versions of the tutorial were
given (if any). Workshop proposals should contain the title of the
workshop, the names and short biographies of the organizers, and the names
of confirmed or candidate participants. Workshop proposals should also
include a two-page description describing the theme, the reviewing process
for participants, the organization of the workshop, required facilities for
the workshop, and a desired length (half day, full day, etc.). We
especially encourage submissions that bring together participants with
diverse backgrounds and experience. For accepted workshops, the desired
length will be honored as closely as possible. Submission information will
be available soon on the conference website.
